"Tent poles in the ground" is a collection of 21 texts by the famous architect Stephen Bates. They testifies to the importance of writing as part of a form of practice that includes building and teaching. Tent Poles in the ground is a collection of twenty-one texts by Stephen Bates. Like Papers (2001), Papers 2 (2007) and Papers 3 (2016), which were written in collaboration with Jonathan Sergison, co-founder of Sergison Bates architects, 'Tent Poles' testifies to the importance of writing as part of a form of practice that includes building and teaching. The reflections included are part of the process of developing and testing ideas in Sergison Bates's London studio and in Stephen Bates's teaching studio at the Chair of Urbanism and Housing, TU M nchen. Covering a range of themes, from domesticity to the city, landscape and the design process, they record both the fundamental principles that inform his approach to architecture and the shifts in thinking that have come about in 30 years of practice. While these are personal reflections on buildings and spaces, they were inspired by discussions across the table in the London studio, with teaching colleagues and students in Munich, and meetings with interesting people from different creative disciplines. Like the making of buildings, thinking and writing about them, too, is always the result of a process of collaboration.
